Romeo and Juliet
By William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Romeo and Juliet is perhaps the most famous of Shakespeare's plays and is
thought to be the most famous love story in Western history. It concerns
the fate of two very young lovers who would do anything to be together.

The Montagues and the Capulets of Verona, Italy, are in the midst of a
long-standing feud when Romeo Montague drops in on a masquerade
party at the Capulets'. While there he meets and woos the daughter of the
house, Juliet. She likewise returns his passion, and their secret meeting
later that night on her bedroom balcony begins a series of tragic events
that no one could have foretold. (Summary by Becky Miller)
